Stone Ladders?

[renadi 258]

So I was running through the changelogs today and I saw this entry that I don't remember reading

Beta v2 Build 49 Codename: Kaaaaaaaaaaahn!

Ladders can now be made from chiseled stone. The only rules are that the depth(as you’re facing the wall) be at least 5 layers approximately(This is a minecraft thing) and the height of the chiseled block be be no more 2 layers thick. chiseled stone that meets these rules will be automatically considered a ladder by the game.

and I was wondering, I've never seen this, have people done this, does it work?

I tried this some seconds ago and it didn't work. How do you make them?

I have smart moving...

It did work perfectly for me, until i installed SM from what i know, you just have to:

-Place stone against the wall you wanna climb.

-Use the slab function 9 times on the block, towards the wall.

-Use it from the 4 times from the botton and 4 from the top.

-Place another stone block on top of that, and repeat.

bah, I'll have to try this out when I get home, it seems it would be much more practical than the ladders I usually stack up when mining!

Even if it works why would it be more practical then ladders? Ladder take less then a second to place, and chiseling takes a lot more. Not worth it.

Not worth it.

One word: aesthetics. Stone ladders looks a LOT better than vanilla wooden ladders. And also, they don't do that fucking wierd noise vanilla stairs do now :

These are also ladders.

Well if you are doing it for aesthetics that's fine, getting out/into a cave is just a waste of time.

Inventory space I would wager. You can make quick shafts down with this method and make the ladder as you go on, this means you do not have to waste space in your inventory with ladders and you can save your sticks for fire pits/torches or handles for tool heads you carry on you. Plus I always carry a hammer and chisel when I go mining, might as well use it and even a wrought iron chisel lasts a very long time.

Also, as someone mentioned, it is also an aesthetic choice, if I'm digging out a very dwarfy looking keep, I'm not going to be using wood outside of support beams. You can also incorporate this into stone work on houses (the requirements for being considered a climbable surface are not too strict actually) and with a bit of work you can have hidden hand/foot holds all over structures.

Speaking of climbable surfaces, anyone know if the feature of walking up one block tall surfaces will be attempted again? I know there were enough issues the first time it was attempted that it warranted pulling the feature, but I didn't know if any new news on that had been revealed.

Yes, i know that can be used too, but honestly that looks a bit... wierd : i personally prefer flatter ladders that don't outcrop that much from the wall.

I use them in mines a lot because they cost no resources they are extremely convenient really.

[LordOfWolves 514]

I use them to decor, because in mines I don't use ladders at all. Mostly because I dig too many tunnels and I don't have time to make a beautiful mine. Damn, now I remember that I still have smart moving :/

You can disable it by pressing... some key, don't remember which. It SHOULD work if you simply disable it in game everytime you have to climb a stone ladder :

Do you understand why I worship you now?

Yeah... Not that i care, anyways. Now, go sacrifice me some threads, please :3

NOOOOOO! I only worship you. This doesn't mean that I follow your orders.

You sure about that? look behind you, how many threads you already derailed for me... I'm just making it official now.

That works in TFC? Or using SM?

They don't work with SM, but you can turn it off or remove it from the mods folder to use the ladders.

I mean do these actually work as ladders in TFC? I thought they had to be 1 block deep, 2 blocks high, not just 2 blocks high as these are in the picture.

I think that these work, but they must be less than 5 protruding.

They are 2 high and about 7 deep. Anything bigger than that won't work, I believe, but those are legitimate TFC ladders. I'm not using smart moving atm, it's easier to fiddle with TFC this way as I actually haven't much time to play now.
